Engine, Performance, and Transmission
The 2021 Crosstrek is available in two power levels. The base and Premium trims come in a four-cylinder 2.0-liter boxer engine that generates 152-hp and about 145 lb-ft of momentum force. The powertrain sticks to the standard manual six-speed transmission with an optional automatic CVT. The 2.5-liter boxer four-cylinder engine is typical to the Sport and Limited trims. It is capable of powering up to 182-hp generating total torque of 176 lb-ft. The powertrain pairs with Subaru's Lineartornic automatic transmission. The 2.5-liter powertrain is more powerful, with added X-mode to tackle any terrains.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG

The EPA rates a CVT 2.0-liter engine at 28 mpg city drive, 33 mpg highway, and when combined, 30 mpg.
